How to Prepare for a Data Repository Installation - Single Node

Meet the following prerequisites before you install Data Repository for a single-node cluster:

1. Verify that the following ports are open on the Data Repository systems:
   • Port 22 (TCP protocol)
   • Port 4033 (TCP and UDP protocol)
   • Port 4803 (TCP and UDP protocol)
   • Port 4804 (UDP protocol)
   • Port 4805 (UDP protocol)
   • Port 5444 (TCP protocol)
   • Port 5450 (TCP protocol)
   • Port 5433 (TCP protocol)

     Note: Remote access is required to this port.

2. If a file named 'release' appears in the /etc directory, remove it. Otherwise, the Data Repository installation will fail.
3. Root access is required to install Data Repository. Determine whether you can install Data Repository as root.
4. Verify that CPU frequency scaling is disabled. Disable CPU frequency scaling through the host system Basic Input/Output System (BIOS).
5. Be sure that you have at least 2 GB of swap space on the computer where you will install Data Repository.
6. Be sure that you are using the ext3 or ext4 file system for data and catalog directories.
7. Be sure that you are not using Logical Volume Manager (LVM) for data and catalog directories.
8. Set a unique hostname for the Data Repository host.
9. (Optional) Configure the sudo user account.
